I've never heard of any of the three above... -
I don't expect it, but I like to see balanced reporting that does not show bias to one side or the other in cases like this. The news media I've been watching has become more balanced over the past months.
-
What evidence backs up your or any of our opinions?
-
...and 5% of the media outlets publish Israel's lies about deaths in Gaza. So, that shows that ALL of the news media is anti-Semitic in one form or another, right?
-
Okay, how about this? All Western news and social media (I watch or interact with) are extremely biased toward pro-Isreali information sources....
-
Yes, and in this case, I agree with the BBC, although I don't watch them. My point was, IMO, other Western news media, such as my favorite, CNN, also have initially sided with Israel but are now beginning to be more unbiased.
-
I'm from the USA. Why would I watch the BBC when I can watch CNN? Besides the BBC, do you also watch CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, etc.? I don't. Anyway, it is my firm opinion that the Western news media and governments have been predominantly pro-Israel, but they are now becoming open to examining the pro-Palestinian side of the conflict.
-
I'll admit I do not watch the BBC. My main source of news is CNN. They were initially pro-Israel but lately have begun to report more on the pro-Palestinian side. The only time I see articles from the BBC or FOX is on this forum or when someone comments on them on social media. If the BBC has really been anti-Israel, that's news to me (pardon the pun).
-
As I stated above, it goes, IMO, in almost all Western news and social media, especially conservative ones. Now, more liberal news and media are starting to include information and accounts from both sides of the conflict.
-
The Arab Palestinians deserve as much access to news and social media as the Jewish Israelis. There are two sides to this story.

Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency
WDSmart replied to simple1's topic in Political Soapbox
The worst thing about this IMO is that so many of the voters in the USA were swayed by him and Trump's rhetoric. I still just can't understand how anyone would vote for Trump, regardless of who was running against him. -

OMG! A politician using money to secure power and privilege! I'm sure glad that doesn't happen anywhere else in the world! -
Payton McNabb’s VolleyBall dreams Shattered by Transgender Opponent
WDSmart replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I'm sorry for this incident, but I'm sure things like this happen between athletes in many sports without a transgender athlete being involved. -
All Western news and social media are extremely biased to pro-Israeli information sources. It's only been lately that the pro-Palestinian side of this conflict is being brought to light.

Birth certificates and passports have not been used for tens of thousands of years. They are only recent developments in the way humans record their classification of each other. They only allow for two options based on physical traits at birth and do not consider psychological traits that develop later. I don't really expect our rules on this to change anytime soon, but it's obvious they are at least being reconsidered.
